The kind and amount of dishwasher detergent you use is an important part of
getting your dishes clean. Read this section carefully.
The detergent dispenser
Use automatlo dlrh-
washer detergent only.
Other detergents are
too mild and much too
sudsy to work in the
dishwasher.
Different brands of
dishwasher detergent
have different amounts
of phosphorus. Phospho-
rus softens water and
helps prevent water
spots on dishes.
If water is hard and
phosphorus content is
low (8.7% or less], you
may need to use more
detergent or use a
brand with a higher
phosphorus content
(12% or higher).
Do not add detergent
until you are ready to
wash. Fresh automatic
